Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wax applicator equipped with air discharge as set forth in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a casing in combination with a wax applicator equipped with air discharge.
  • the invention relates to a wax applicator to be used for applying a ski wax, to be heated with an electric resistance, and having exhaustion of harmful wax gases and particles. By this, it is possible to prevent the gases and smells caused by the waxing from diffusing into breathing air during the waxing.
  • Respirator filters generally include a face mask, and due to their structure, they leave the eyes of the maintenance person exposed to noxious gases.
  • the masks are often uncomfortable and sweaty.
  • Other persons working in the same room must also protect themselves with an uncomfortable mask.
  • Improved ventilation of the working room is uncomfortable for the ground staff and does not offer sufficient protection at the moment of waxing.
  • the ventilation devices are generally integrated in the solid structures of the working room, which is not best suited to eliminate the problem because of the nature of the skiing sport and the varying skiing locations.
  • a device suitable for waxing skis etc . should have such a size and weight that it can be easily moved between different service locations.
  • a ski maintenance table connected with suction at the sides and underneath the skis to be fixed to the table does not provide the best possible result for removing smells, because the wax smells, gas and particles heated during the waxing tend to flow upwards in a room space.
  • This aim can be achieved by efficiently removing the harmful particles and gases even before they are allowed to spread from the direct vicinity of the ski etc . to be waxed to the working room.
  • This is performed with a wax applicator which is equipped with air discharge and has a suction channel system needed for discharging harmful gases and particles as well as an outlet pipe system for them. Thanks to its compact size, the wax applicator equipped with a suction channel system is easy to move from one service location to another. With a wax applicator equipped with a suction channel system as presented in the claims, it is not necessary to use face masks or to ventilate the waxing room.
  • the operation of the wax applicator equipped with a suction channel system is based on the fact that the wax for a ski etc . to be maintained is melted with an electric resistance by means of a heated base plate.
  • a suction channel system Around the base plate, there is a suction channel system which sucks the heated wax gas and particles, tending to flow upwards, directly in connection with melting of the wax.
  • the wax gases are discharged from the device along a pipe system from the waxing room. More precisely, the wax applicator according to the invention is characterized in what will be presented in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • Figs. 1a, 1b and 1c show the shape of the outer casing, operating principle and parts of the device.
  • the frame 1 of the device consists of a conical casing which is made of a castable material and to which is also coupled a hand-fitted handle 2 for the device.
  • the base plate 3 of the device is a metal plate which has a thickness of about 5 to 10 mm, which is heated with an electric resistance, and whose dimensions are slightly smaller than the circumference of the lower part of the outer casing 1.
  • An electrically operated fan motor 4 producing a directional air flow is installed in the device.
  • On the casing there is a nozzle 5 equipped with a pipe 6, along which contaminated air is discharged.
  • the device sucks the wax gases from a channel 7 left between the base plate 3 and the casing 1.
  • the level of the lower part of the casing 1 is slightly higher than the level of the lower surface of the base plate, so that molten waxes would not obstruct the suction channel 7.
  • the base plate 3 melts the wax onto the bottom of a ski.
  • the wax gases are sucked by means of the fan motor 4 from the suction channel 7 of the casing 1 surrounding the base plate to the inside of the casing 1, from which they are discharged from the waxing room along a pipe system 6.
  • the pipe system 6 can also be provided with a filter which filters impurities from the air.
  • Figures 2a and 2b show the internal structure of the device by means of cross-sections.
  • an adjustable resistor 8 encircling the base plate is needed for heating the base plate 3.
  • the resistance is a protective housing 9, i.e. a protective hood 9, to insulate thermal harms caused by the base plate from the casing 1.
  • Figure 2c illustrates the placing of the base plate 3 with respect to the housing 1 in such a way that contaminated air to be sucked from the suction channel 7 is allowed to flow inside the device without obstruction.
  • FIG. 3 Another example of the structure of the device is shown in Fig. 3 which differs from the first example with respect to the location of the fan motor 4.
  • the fan motor 4 can be placed farther away in the pipe system 6, wherein more space and alternatives for the design are left inside the casing 1 of the device.
  • the pipe system 6 is coupled in a similar manner to the nozzle 5 on the casing 1.
  • An air purifier 10 which filters harmful substances from the air led into the pipe system, can be easily connected to the fan motor 4.
  • the pipe system 6 can be equipped with an external fan motor, such as a vacuum cleaner and a central suction dust collector, wherein the air exhaust opening of the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a filter for purifying contaminated air, or the contaminated air is let out from the waxing room.
  • an external fan motor such as a vacuum cleaner and a central suction dust collector
  • the air exhaust opening of the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a filter for purifying contaminated air, or the contaminated air is let out from the waxing room.
  • the size of the pipe system 6 with its nozzle is fitted to match the vacuum cleaner.
  • the pipe system 6 can also be adapted to be connected to a fixed ventilation system of the maintenance room, or the like.
  • the pipe system 6 is located upwards from the device, to be fixed in a flexible manner e.g. in the ceiling structure, in such a way that the pipe system is not under the waxing person's foot when waxing. Also the electric current required by the device can be supplied next to the pipe system.
  • the waxing device should be fixed to the ceiling with a lifting system, where the waxing device is always available when needed. From the ceiling, the pipe system can descend at a more distant location to be coupled to a suction device and to be discharged from the waxing room.
